Oh, and since I don't read much fanfiction, self-insertion isn't an issue with me, and to be honest I don't see why it's as big of an issue as people make it. Technically, the only legal fanfiction is that which uses entirely new characters that merely adhere to the rules of that world. Using characters from that world is illegal. In that respect, chances are one of your new characters will reflect you in some way.

2. Wapanese/Japanophiles/Asian-Wannabes. People who obsess too much with asian snacks, cuisine, culture, etc bug me. I could go great lengths as to why I have a sense of dislike towards these types of people, but I don't feel like it.

Yeah, they scare me more than anything else.

The fans that bother me are the ones that mindlessly follow a series in every way. They love the utterly generic lead and admire his determination and that he will protect his friends. Every time the author does a hackneyed cliffhanger they post something along the lines of "nooo, don't die! waiiiii!" Most of them talk excessively about how hot the characters are.
I try to defend my hobbies to others, saying that they aren't mindless pulp entertainment. But when I see these individuals, it makes me wonder if I'm not wrong. Is anime and manga mostly a trashy mass-produced industry? Am I kidding myself when I say I read it for better reasons? Sometimes I really don't know.
Lucy is moe? Or do you mean Nyu? Because Lucy definitely has the psychopath thing going on, which isn't really a moe characteristic in my mind (awesome as it may be).

I am scared of all of these...but to add to the list:
- Japanese Audio Purists- The fans who are really picky about only watching the SUBS. Because the dubbers are somehow totally against their show and want to ruin it. (English VAs are ACTORS not Imitators!)

Maybe im frightening, but I refuse to watch any anime in english, because it's so irritating and annoying that I want to rip off my head and never watch anime again when I do.
:| ok maybe i am kind of scary. but that's besides the point. Japanese audio is better. can't deny it. (hmph)

Mave: Hey, considering all the yaoi fangirls and hentai fans [plus all the additional unmentionables], don't you think the concentration of perverted ppl are exceptionally high over here?
Buddy: Eh yeah.
Mave: So hypothetically, if we bombed this convention, we would have done the world some good by helping to clean society?
Buddy: LOL So, why are you into anime and manga again?

Probably limited to the Kenshin OVA's and Princess Mononoke. But out of all the dubs you could mention in support of fair dubbing jobs... you Choose Naruto???
I'm sorry, my baby sister, age 11, would probably object even more than me. A devout Naruto Fan who will not be swayed]
You're talking to someone who only watches subtitles. Anyway, it's strictly a matter of opinion, though I suppose my opinion is moot, since I have never seen original Naruto dubbing. I chose Naruto because I assumed that the voice actors were trying to stick to the original, which doesn't usually happen. :/ FYI, you are being the poster child of such snobbery.
I suppose it would have been better if I chose something like Miyazaki.
I will stand by what I said earlier concerning girls in Japanese voice acting. I dislike how most of them are annoyingly high pitched.

That doesn't really bother me, personally, because I get along just fine.. but it does sort of make me wonder about them. Do they like Anime because of the Anime, or because of how liking Anime makes them see themselves? Either way, I don't really mind I guess.. but in principle it bothers me.
